Which is around the same time that Joker suddenly flicks into existence behind Tanyuu on one side, slamming the hilt of a throwing knife towards the side of her head.

He'd hoped it wouldn't come to this, and not just because he likes Tanyuu, or because getting to her head means leaping over lots of her with his wings flared out from beneath his coat. It's mostly because Joker is well aware that whenever any of their own have been turned against them, it's always been with a little something extra lining their edges.... and Tanyuu, with the knowledge that she has, can be full of edges. The people who protect things are usually the ones who know how to best turn it inside out, after all.

If only he could go invisible like that angel self of him could, easy as breathing. As it is, well, the second he'd seen that... thatspread out from his eye, eating and eating, the twist of fear on Ginko's face....

Holding invisibility is hard to do when you see someone you love looking like that.

Joker knows better than to assume that love will fix any part of this problem. All he can do is hope that the blunt end of a knife will.
